The girlfriend is going away for a while next week so was going to cook a fancy meal. My idea of langoustine has been categorically put to death, as has any other of my ideas (including veal, venison, rabbit, etc etc). So I have chicken to work with *sigh*.
So, instead of doing a common chicken dish has anyone got any unusual, fancy looking ideas?
Or, if you have any other good dishes with the 'common meat' as the main piece then please divulge them. Sure she'd eat pig, or cow.

It's pathetic I know, and wish she'd eat the more unusual things but the eyes and what not renders the food inedible nor will she eat 'cute' or 'pet' animals.
 
Why does this thread keep getting bumped?
In the end I just did a simple roast chicken on a barley risotto. Served with salad and a cherry jus.

It was a good combination, though I suspect the cherry jus would be better suited to duck.
 
cook rabbit stew and tell her its chicken, and afterwards after she enjoyed it, tell her what she ate.

You will then have her converted.

Yeah, I'm planning on doing that. She's not a food type of person at all, and never really experienced fine dining so trying to get her to taste new things but it's a bit tricky!

She was very much out of her comfort zone when I took her to a fancy fish restaurant but once she got over her worries she really enjoyed it.
Hoping to go to a Michelin starred restaurant for my birthday so need to get her to appreciate that so it's not a waste of £200!
